"The mass murder in Gaza outlines a pattern, a set of tools and measures of extermination, subjugation, and expulsion".

"What is it about genocide that Global-North governments find so valuable and attractive that they protect its screamingly criminal substance and application, even at the cost of completely ruining their standing with everyone else on the planet?"
It sets a precedent "to subdue the cities of the Global South (and the poor in general").

"Why?
"The general reason is obvious, and while there would be much to say about it, let’s just summarize it here: The West is in decline in a severely crisis-ridden world (it has produced most or even all of these crises, but let’s pass over that irony for now). Its “elites” have decided not to adjust constructively – which would be entirely possible by compromise, cooperation, and sharing – but instead […] they will fight for what they hubristically see as their “garden”."

“Self-defence means not only attacking terrorists but destroying them. When Hamas terrorists hide behind people, behind schools … civilian places lose their protected status because terrorists abuse it,” said Germany's then foreign minister during a parliamentary session marking the anniversary of the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

"Germany is open about its uninhibited support for Israel‘s war of extermination and genocide in Palestine, and wants to make sure the entire world sees it."

"Establishment forces have translated Holocaust remembrance chiefly as support for Israel, elevating its protection to a German Staatsraison (national interest) coupled with zero tolerance for criticism of Israel, which is automatically treated as antisemitism".
